Count yourself fortunate that you found out about PFS, and this site, so soon after stopping fin.
I stopped in 2010 but didn’t know it was PFS that was causing so many health issues until 2012. Two years of misery after a crash and completely in the dark about any recovery options. Imaging being blind and hopeless for 2 years.
Once I found out about PFS, TRT did NOT help. It made things worse.
It wasn’t until I stopped taking ALL prescriptions and started following CDNuts recovery plan that I began to see improvements, and that started about 10 months ago.
I’m inclined to believe we become androgen resistant and have fewer androgen receptors post fin. So it makes sense that TRT wouldn’t work, fewer receptors and the body is unable to benefit from the exogenous T or even Trib initially.
Over time, and with dedication to taking action based on your own decisions from advice given on this site, you will SLOWLY and GRADUALLY heal. Expect to see improvements as well as setbacks but don’t let the setbacks discourage you, they are temporary.
I took this poison for 7 years and lost EVERYTHING; wife, career, money, house, cars, friends etc…
But once I got dead serious about my own recovery and refusal to trust doctors or western meds, THIS is when I finally began to recover. I’m not saying all docs or meds can’t be trusted, but I AM saying a recovery or at least an improvement is FAR more likely if you follow a more natural path. Fasting, Diet (includes avoiding toxins, sugar, alcohol, gluten processed foods), Exercise (heavy weights, High Intensity Interval Training), vitamins/supplements, Meditation, Natural Tboosters, Estrogen Control with DIM or Calcium D-Gluconate and removing ALL stress from your life for a time.
I’m doing incredibly well these days, about 85% recovered and still seeking, researching and tweaking my own plan to recover fully. I feel like I have an obligation to periodically check this site and find ways to contribute or help those in dire straights now that I’m healing. It’s incomprehensible to me that Finasteride is still being sold, so we should expect to keep seeing new cases, more suicides and lives being destroyed. For those that agree and have some degree of recovery, let me encourage you to SEEK out the new guys in trouble, and try to help them. You just might save a life.
